『 Two figures fell rapidly. Camazotz looked at the unconscious Nitocris, a smile appearing on his broken face.
"Calling you utterly foolish… I said it too early, after all. In the end, you weren't any more useful; you actually dug out your own heart."
"Even I wouldn't attempt such a challenge. I am afraid of pain."
"O Queen, let me correct one mistake of yours. No matter who dies, I will not grieve."
"The hundreds of millions of citizens facing genocide, weeping in grief, crying with joy, wailing, in a daze, the parents and children throwing themselves into the furnace because they wailed that they didn't want you to die."
"The warriors throwing themselves into the furnace, smiling and asking to save us."
"At the bottom of the furnace… as a lump of flesh without hands or feet, I have witnessed such scenes all this time."
"But my mind was calm and undisturbed. My only thought was, 'Ah, they died?' Even if lives were offered right before my eyes, it was no different from the daily life up until now."
"Even though I would be moved to tears by fabricated stories."
"It has always been this way. No matter who dies… I will not feel guilt. Unmoved by the death of others or my own, it is precisely because of this that I became King."
"All while wondering, what on earth must I do to shed tears like everyone else?"
But it is truly strange.
A man like him would actually worry about a woman of unknown origin.
Ah, thinking about it now, it really is a good thing.
The bygone times are right before his eyes; the things lost will beautifully revive countless, countless times.
I see.
Though not to the point of eternity, still continuing to live after death, so that is what it means.
Camazotz's smile remained peaceful and gentle. The Beast of Forgetfulness, because he remembered, therefore died…
My subjects, your King has returned— 』

〜Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline〜
Artoria's golden hair fell softly, a sorrow and heartache that could not be concealed flashing in her sacred blue eyes.
This… was a king's understanding of another king's tragic fate.
But… the gap between them was so vast… A trace of loneliness flashed in Artoria's eyes. At her first sight of Camazotz, she had only thought of him as a madman, a god who did as he pleased and took pleasure in the pain of others.
But up until this moment, Artoria knew she was wrong. She was terribly, terribly wrong.
The one called Camazotz was the ultimate warrior who could fight to the death even against ORT, the monster that devoured planets!
Artoria knew very well that the Kingdom of Ka'an resorting to such means meant they were completely out of options. ORT was absolutely terrifying to the extreme, so much so that this nation of hundreds of millions of people had to sacrifice everything they had!
Without the help of allies, without Maya's protection, the citizens of Ka'an merely believed in their King. This belief was strong enough to sacrifice all their relatives and friends...
Sacrificing them, believing in their King—they used their entire race as stakes to make an unprecedentedly grand gamble!
They believed their King would carry the final prayers of every single life belonging to their race to defeat that invincible monster and save their final homeland!
And facts proved that they ultimately succeeded, even though they paid for it with everything—
But their King, their King of Braves!
Camazotz would carry all of them as he traversed the world of Mictlan, searching for that near-impossible way to recreate the Kingdom of Ka'an.
"This is the courage of humanity…!"
But… an unspeakable bitterness appeared on Artoria's face.
Compared to Camazotz, she was simply unworthy of being called a king.
Her country was torn by war, countless subjects died in civil war, and even now, she still had not found a way to save Britain.
She… was truly a failed king.

『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone was filled with infinite emotion. It was a pity they could not witness that great battle in more detail. It was a battle that was completely on par with, or even surpassed, the day Gilgamesh bid farewell to the gods.
That great battle…
Sacrificing hundreds of millions of people gave birth to a super monster capable of rivaling a planetary UO.
Over tens of thousands of years, relying on the continuously burning rage and hatred in his heart, he finally killed ORT.
But what after completing his goal? A massive void completely swallowed Camazotz. This King, this human…
He no longer had his subjects or relatives. In this world, he could not even find another of his kind.
Yet even so, he still lived in this agonizing world to protect Mictlan.
This was the belief upheld by a King… a savior.
But fortunately, this King, the last warrior, was ultimately redeemed in the end.
A long life and an immortal body were not what he wanted. Perhaps passing away without responsibilities and burdens was the best end for him.
Everyone was still immersed in Camazotz's story, reflecting on it. They had never expected that in this final Lostbelt, there would actually be such an admirable existence.
So… it was time for the next step, right?
Since they had defeated this final brave, the brave of Pan-Human History should begin her true journey in this Lostbelt!
.....
『 When Chaldea and the others found Nitocris, she was the only one left in place. The Spirit Origin belonging to Camazotz had completely dissipated.
A flash of sadness crossed Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes, but she said nothing. Everyone immediately mobilized to head toward ORT's location.
The end of Mictlan had arrived.
But what appeared before everyone was endless desolation, collapsed temples, and a decaying, rotting giant tree that reached the heavens—without a doubt, it was the Fantasy Tree.
Just like the British Lostbelt, even though the Fantasy Tree was destroyed, the Lostbelt still stood.
Britain was because Morgan reset the Lostbelt. What was the reason here? 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Everyone also began to speculate.
With Morgan's precedent, everyone was mentally prepared. The Fantasy Tree could be detached from the Lostbelt, but the premise was that the Fantasy Tree must have existed!
And there must be magical energy equivalent to what was contained in the Fantasy Tree to support the Lostbelt!
Clearly, the Fantasy Tree had existed here, and it seemed to have been worshipped as a divine tree. After all, although the temple was shattered, its past grandeur and brilliance could easily be seen from the ruins.
What destroyed it? But after its destruction, the Lostbelt still existed… which meant…
Could it be that this world also had a genius magus like Morgan?
For example… Tezcatlipoca?
An image of Tezcatlipoca holding a staff appeared in everyone's minds… a lazy, carefree blonde guy, chanting spells with a serious face?
No, no, no. If even that worked, the magi of that world would cry, right?!
Daybit, pass. Alien God, pass. Kukulcan, pass.
After ruling out the key characters who still existed one by one, everyone fell into deep thought. What other possibility could there be for the Lostbelt to still exist even though the Fantasy Tree was destroyed?
It couldn't be related to ORT, right?!
.....
『 "When the King reveals the Star of Demise, the star shall turn into the seedling of the Cosmic Tree. Do not touch the remains of the star, for the remains are already the cornerstone of Mictlan."
Chaldea obtained this information, and a bad premonition could not help but rise in everyone's hearts.
Could it be… the Fantasy Tree had already fused with ORT?!
If that was truly the case, then everything went back to square one. On this trip, they had to defeat ORT!
Everyone discovered a 200-meter underground cavern, and in the cavern, they saw Tezcatlipoca!
Looking at the arriving Chaldea group, Tezcatlipoca could not help but show a look of astonishment.
"For real?"
"Daybit's judgment is truly astounding. I didn't expect you guys to arrive at the same time as me, who knows the way."
Standing respectfully beside Tezcatlipoca was Izcalli. He did not let Izcalli fight, but instead had the Rain God block the Chaldea group.
In the end, the altered Nitocris heavily injured the Rain God at the cost of her life.
Everyone had no time to mourn. They rushed downward. In a patch of scorching, boiling lava, they saw intertwined tree branches, and at the top of the branches, the sleeping body of ORT!
It turned out that six million years ago, although Camazotz tore out ORT's heart, during this period, ORT also eroded the Fantasy Tree on the ninth layer and preyed upon it.
The Fantasy Tree had indeed withered, but ORT inherited all of its functions, maintaining this Lostbelt as the Fantasy Tree!
And the reason it was sleeping was precisely that ORT currently had a gap.
Because of this gap, ORT had not revived!
Tezcatlipoca had Izcalli jump in to fill this gap. He was born for this purpose, but Izcalli fell into hesitation…
If so, wouldn't he, who revived ORT, be the culprit who destroyed Mictlan and his homeland?!
Then what was the protection he kept talking about?!
And this hesitation made Tezcatlipoca lose his patience. He directly killed Izcalli, a troubled expression appearing on his face at the same time.
But then, he turned his gaze toward Fujimaru Ritsuka with a slight smirk. "Though it's a bit sudden, I have a favor to ask of you."
Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned.
Could it be…
That's right. Using the hearts of the humans who eliminated the six Lostbelts as sacrifices to fill ORT was also extremely perfect!
Black smoke filled the sky, and the Black Tezcatlipoca manifested. This was neither a discussion nor a negotiation; he was notifying Chaldea.
Whether the power of a Grand Berserker was displayed to the fullest, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not know. She only knew that before the opponent even released his Noble Phantasm, they were once again beaten into a disorganized mess!
But at this moment, a terrifying lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking straight at Tezcatlipoca!
Twisted, grotesque, twitching, CRAWLING!!!
The face of Tezcatlipoca, the Wind of Inconstancy, twisted into a chrysanthemum. His body rapidly heated up, and he looked at that figure with uncontrollable rage!
It's you again, and again, and again, ALIEN GOD?!!
"WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU MEAN?!!" At this moment, Tezcatlipoca could no longer hold back. He asked in frustration. Every time he was about to give Chaldea a true trial, this Beast would jump out!
He even asked in bewilderment, "What is Kukulcan doing? The greatest enemy should be intercepted by the greatest enemy, right?"
But the Alien God, U-Olga Marie, merely expressed with a tsundere attitude that she wanted to protect Chaldea, and no matter what the opponent said, it was useless.
Hiding in the distance, the Priest's eyes darkened, clearly having broken down completely just like Tezcatlipoca.
Who still remembered that back in the fifth Lostbelt, they were still enemies? 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
"Pfft, hahahaha—!"
Looking at the Priest and Tezcatlipoca breaking down in the projection, everyone simply could not hold back and burst out laughing!
That collapsed face was truly too amusing!
If they were on Chaldea's side, they could only say that the Alien God was too charming!
.....
『 With the help of the Alien God, Tezcatlipoca exited the stage as expected. Chaldea was extremely excited.
This way, there would be no way to wake ORT, right?!
But from beginning to end, the plan was not executed by Tezcatlipoca.
Daybit appeared before that gap at some point. He was surprised Chaldea could reach this place, but this was the end.
He was the one to awaken ORT!
"No, do you really want to destroy the Earth! Daybit-san should be on the side of Pan-Human History!" Mash could not accept this!
But Daybit shook his head. He had a reason to destroy the Earth, and he was not on the side of Pan-Human History either.
He glanced at the time. There was still one minute. Within this minute, he would slice Chaldea into pieces of meat.
The next moment, the space behind Daybit actually began to blur and distort, as if some terrifying thing had arrived.
Bizarre, evil, twisted—
Everyone was horrified!
"That is not a Heroic Spirit, it's not even… a life from this universe at all," the Alien God U-Olga Marie said heavily.
"That is the dust of a dark star that has flown from a universe 140 billion light-years away since the birth of the Big Bang—!"
But it was completely incomprehensible… Why would a radio source at a distance that even light would take 140 billion years to reach this planet have a connection with Daybit!?
Daybit expressed his appreciation for the Alien God's erudition, while praising Chaldea as indeed warriors who saved the Human Order… but only before the Incineration of the Human Order.
The alien monster he summoned blocked the attack of the Chaldea group, and then he walked toward ORT's final coffin with leisurely steps.
He revealed his chest, which surprisingly held the heart of the Alien God!
It turned out that after being blown away by Kukulcan back then, Daybit and Tezcatlipoca had swapped out the Alien God's heart!
It was precisely because of this that the Alien God had the illusion that her heart was still there, so she did not repair it!
Daybit also knew the reason, which was that Director Olga Marie always felt it was better to keep her weak self.
Only in this way could she live together with Chaldea.
How foolish.
Then Daybit interrupted Fujimaru Ritsuka, who wanted to speak, and spoke the truth that made the girl and the entire Chaldea tremble with fear!
When all seven Lostbelts were excised, Marisbury's guarantee of Human Order would be complete.
Bleaching Pan-Human History to allow the birth of the Alien God… the culprit of everything was precisely this alien star, Maris (CHALDEAS)!
Mash's eyes trembled, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka in disbelief, only to find that Fujimaru Ritsuka's body had already begun to tremble involuntarily.
They tried their best to deny what Daybit said, but they found… this… was the truth! 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Myriad Worlds 』
Indeed! INDEED!!!
At this moment, countless viewers across the Myriad Worlds looked at this scene in shock and trembling! They witnessed this historic moment!
Chaldea could no longer deny it.
They were indeed the greatest Evil of Humanity in Pan-HUMAN HISTORY!!!
